The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is pleased to announce that in addition to English and Spanish versions, its "Your Insured Deposits" booklet is now available in Chinese (traditional and simplified) and Korean.

"Your Insured Deposits" booklets are free to insured financial institutions for distribution to their customers. The booklet clearly explains customers' deposit insurance coverage in a question-and-answer format. The latest edition of "Your Insured Deposits" is marked "1999" on the last page. Previous editions do not reflect the most recent regulation changes and should be destroyed.

Financial institutions are welcome to reprint any version of "Your Insured Deposits" for distribution to their customers and communities. Source files for the commercial printing of current brochures may be downloaded from the FDIC's Web site at: http://www.fdic.gov/regulations/resources/brochures/index.html. The formats used are
QuarkXPress Versions 3.32 and 4.0 for Macintosh.

The instructional manual "The Financial Institution Employee's Guide to Deposit Insurance" is also available from the same FDIC offices and Web address.

For more information on the deposit insurance rules and regulation, please contact the FDIC's Call Center at (877) ASK-FDIC or (202) 736-0000.
